The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day isn’t bad, it’s just drawn that way.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
Stepping clear of the all horror/movie monster centric October run of BtSPotD we find ourselves with a rather interesting (and a bit risqué) picture from the filming of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?
This particular title is bound to have plent of interesting behind the scenes potential due to the crazy technique used to bring the hybrid live action/cartoon worlds together.
I have many fond memories of this film. In fact, it’s an early movie memory for me. I can vividly remember watching this in the theater with my mom. As I grew older the references became more clear, but I recall even at a young age thinking how different this movie was from others of its type. Jessica Rabbit was an unapologetic sex symbol, her animated cleavage causing more than a few young boys to see the light. Probably some young girls, too. I’m sure Jessica swings, so whatever floats your boat.
The photo comes from reader Steve Abramson and was one of my top contenders for the recent Making of Empire Strikes Back book contest I just ran. He got it from Cinefex and makes sure to point out that the human stand in for Jessica Rabbit is an actress named Betsy Brantley.
I hope you guys enjoy the image and make sure to click for the mega-version of it.

If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
I think tomorrow’s pic is the start of a beautiful friendship.

She's like the 'toon version of a starlet with MASSIVELY FAKE GIANT TITS, a la Pamela Anderson. To quote Weird Science, "Anything more than a handful's wasted". Pocahontas and Esmeralda (Hunchback) and Ariel are all MUCH hotter cartoon cuties.

When rumors of a Roger Rabbit sequel pop up, I cringe, because I know that they would do it all with computers, and the magic of all that hand-drawn animation would be down gone. I loved that movie. So much remarkable practical effects work. Brilliant. And I have to agree with Nasty-Pasty. I'd rather split the little mermaids fins than play patty-cake with Jessica. If you think that's wrong, then I won't go into details of what I would do with the centaur ladies of Fantasia.

It's completely amazing that they got so many different cartoon characters in their classic forms to appear together onscreen. All hail the golden age of animation and Roger Rabbit for bringing it back at least for a little while. Maybe we will get another golden age revival. The public demands violent nonsensical over the top cartoons.

Really makes that club look creepy. I guess because Jessica, with her massively overt sexuality, seemed more than a match for all of those leering guys it didn't come off as quite as disturbing on film. Really interesting to see, and a cool shot.

The way this move was made was amazing...and it shows. There was a level of skill present in the production of Roger Rabbit that has not been seen since CGI made the scene. Classic movie...instead of a sequel,I would love if they would just re-release this one to theatres.

Interesting topic. Never really thought about it before. I guess you mean "before the rise of CG".

I'd be tempted to go for "The Abyss" if you mean a film with great practical effects work rather than a great film with good practical effects. (I consider The Abyss a good movie, but not a great one.)

Of course, The Abyss was also the movie whose five minute pseudopod sequence also kickstarted the modern computer effects industry...

CGI still has to be drawn, you could make a new Roger rabit movie that was CGI and you could make it look hand drawn. It's not really about whether it's handdrawn or not. CG characters are still handdrawn, just not on paper. It's about the stories you put them in. If it's bad film, it's bad whether it was hand drawn or not. See plenty of the later disney films. Proof that CG isn't the problem. Pixar.

"...and the rabbit out to dry. C'mon boys, let's amscray." I have such affection and admiration for this film. The animation was great, the effects really clever, Bob Hoskins and Christopher Lloyd, the insane soundtrack. Loved it in the theaters and watched it a million times on VHS. How many years later and I bet I still could recite almost the whole thing by heart.

Okay, maybe he didn't ruin it, but there was something cool about Zemeckis wanting Murray in the movie because he's a great reactor to all things weird going on around him. Hoskins was unknown to me at 15 and I think alot of the funny was lost because of him. It's the Stoltz, Fox thing all over again, but I guess Zemeckis was selling the technology in this movie and not the actors, unlike BTTF. Man, can you imagine Murray falling off the building with Bugs and Mickey... instant wall poster!

Has there ever been one? I've always wanted a really, really in-depth making of documentary to accompany this film. The extras on the existing UK DVD are beyond shit (I can't speak for the US version). I really really hope that for the blu-ray they pull out the stops and give this amazing film the treatment it deserves.
